here's a question for all you who have been studying evoluition much longer than me.
i have read in a few places that man has all but stopped evolving.
is this what is really being taught by science and why?
El Blanko,
Thanks, I believe that was what I was reading. That puts things in better perspective for me. Thanks to everyone else as well for putting together great responses as to why it may appear as though evolution of man has stopped, however, it of course has not. That seems pretty apparent to me anyway when I take a slow look at nature all around me and look at the history of the earth and the fossil record. Creationists? I need more than that.

Thanks for the reply's. It may be the comments I read said something more like 'humans have relatively stopped evolving'. Any creationists like to chime in?

To be honest, I can't remember where I read it and probably should have written it down to post on here. It is good to see others are having the same reaction as me on this though. If anyone else has a thought let me know and I will also try and find where i might have read it. Problem is I have read so much in the last year my mind is melting and I can't always remember where I read it..lol.

Is this what is really being taught by science and why? How can evolution stop? Wouldn't this argue for an "intelligent designer" who knew there would be an end point to his "creation"? Thanks!

hey there all, for all those who have not yet been to the quotes site, here is the link!
http://quotes.watchtower.ca/admin-site-map.htm#publications
Thanks "Beans"! I used this site just the other day when I had to e-mail my ex-wife on some issues involving my son. Of course, she told me I didn't need to send her any of that info since she has all of it already but I think she was surprised I had any access to it since she made sure she took all the Watchtower publications with her and away from me when we split. Very useful site!

hi, just wondering if any scholars out there can point me in the direction of good stuff on the puritans?
thanks, jayne
sorry...i'm a member of the not-so-puritans...
for those that have been out of the borg awhile...now that you are no longer part of the dubs, what positive things do you like to be involved in?
what is your' purpose in life?
Wow! I bring up a question and come back at night to some excellent responses...thank you! Since I asked the question I suppose I should answer to some extent as well. First, I really think the answer to this question is not something we will ever know fully in this lifetime. I really think it is something we figure out for ourselves as to what is our purpose in life. I guess that's why I asked it the way I did. So far since leaving the borg I have found for the first time freedom of mind in a way I have never experienced. I appreciate this more than I can say. I think it is possible happiness is the purpose of our life because it is what we all ultimately try and achieve. For me I guess I will narrow it down to what has driven me since I was very young, probably since I was 10-13 yrs. That is, helping others in some way. This is because that is what makes me truly happy. If I can't be helpful to others you might as well shoot me because I will be miserable. This is what drove me to pioneer, work on kingdom halls, give talks and the like. I did that mainly because i believed living the borg way was the best way and the way to truly help people. In time I saw this was not the case. The borg way could in fact be very detrimental to people. I haven't believed in the borg for a few years now and have been physically absent for close to a year. I have been healing and figuring out ways to help people since this gives me purpose. I am not sure I have it all figured out yet but I have a good start I think. I do things to help myself so I can help others as well. I work a fair amount of course which helps me and my son. I am on a softball team now which mostly helps me but by extension helps others cuz all work and no play makes Bav a pain in the ass. I have also been getting into meditation and Buddhism which helps me and those around me as well. In Milwaukee we have been able to put together a small group of us ex-dubs for weekly support (if you will). I hope to see this extended in the future and perhaps that is what I will focus on since I have the background in the borg and I truly believe in Steve Hassan's appeal when he asked former members of cults to get involved. Time will tell but I will always look for new opportunity's. Thanks again for all your' responses...I personally found them to be very encouraging!
